A sculpted display serif with striking thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like stroke endings that often flare subtly at terminals. The letterforms favor tall capitals, compact bowls, and narrow apertures, creating a dense, high-impact texture in words. Serifs read more like tapered cuts than bracketed slabs, and many curves resolve into pointed beaks or fine hairline tips. Lowercase shows a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g” with a strong lower loop, and tightly drawn counters that emphasize the type’s sharp rhythm and vertical authority.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and short-form editorial typography where contrast and sharp detailing can breathe. It also works well for branding, luxury packaging, and event or cultural posters that benefit from a refined but forceful voice. For optimal clarity, use at display sizes with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, blending classic editorial polish with a slightly edgy, cut-paper sharpness. It feels luxurious and assertive—more runway and magazine masthead than book text—while still retaining a traditional serif pedigree.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through extreme contrast and flared, chiseled terminals, aiming for an editorial-luxury aesthetic that stands out in titles and brand marks. Its compact counters and sculpted shapes suggest an intention to feel both classical and fashion-forward.
The design leans on dramatic joins and tight interior spaces; at larger sizes these details read as elegant and intentional, while in smaller settings they may appear dense due to the compact apertures and fine hairlines. Numerals follow the same sculpted contrast, with angular transitions and pronounced thick-to-thin shifts.
